Soprano76 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 It's disappointing that the youth teams of recent memory haven't been able to translate their success to the senior team. There was a team headed by Ninis and Mitroglou that made it far in the Euros and then another team w/ Katidis, Mavrias, etc a few years back that lost to Spain in the Euro final. Sad to see a lot of these guys fall off.

Sad to see a lot of these guys fall off. I agree it is sad to see these players not live up to expectations. Mitroglou has done fairly well for himself though. In the u21s Galanopoulos and Androutsos seem like they are the leaders and the most talented of this team. Hopefully if not all at least half these players make something of their career. Tsimikas looks like he has a big career ahead and Limnios is improving and is also very talented. I believe if Retsos and Donis were part of this team then I believe this team would go far in the Euro tournament.
Alphonse Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 Given current midfield situation, never been a better time for these guys to make their mark in the Ethniki. In the past Katsouranis, Karagounis, Basinas, were players the coach wouldn't budge with, we are certainly not in that situation anymore, barring Skibbe's obsession with Tziolis lol so anythings possible
Antaeus7 Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 So Greece is in need of 2 draws against Czech Republic and Croatia and a win against Belarus and they win group 1 and automatically through to Italy 2019.
Boxou Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 saw the squad, overall it's good although there are some players missing who could improve us a lot.. goalkeeper stergiakis got injured, galanopoulos is booked (hence he's not on the senior nt as well), koulouris will play with the senior team etc. i think chatzigiovannis who's starting for pao and mouscron who's starting for a team in belgium could get called up as well. either way im confident they can beat czech republic and if no injuries or so against croatia next month, perhaps can take the so much needed draw. croatia have plenty of guys that already play in a high level so it will be hard. if only for the mistake of our goalkeeper last november we would have won them and would have already qualified...
Antaeus7 Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Croatia winning 4-0 over Belarus Greece winning 2-1 over Czech Republic
Antaeus7 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Starting Lineup 1 (GK) Kotsaris 2 (C) Saliakas 3 Kiriakopoulos 4 Pasalidis 5 Nikolaou 6 Karachalios 8 Galanopoulos 9 Vergos 10 Lamprou 14 Androutsos 18 Limnios
Antaeus7 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) After 25 minutes, Greece is dominating Croatia's half and taking some quality shots. They are making Croatia defending harder. Edited October 12, 2018 by Molon Lave
Antaeus7 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Unbelievable! Pasalidis gifted Croatia a goal. WTF!?
Antaeus7 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Greece down to 10 men after Nikolaou got his second yellow card
Antaeus7 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Greece made all 3 subs, hopefully it will pay off.
Bihti Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Or at least damage control. We are going to find it hard from here
Bihti Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Why wouldnt we sub off any of the lads on yellow cards? Edited October 12, 2018 by Bihti
Ellada2004 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 83rd minute and we are down to 10. We need a result or were going to playoff most likely.
Antaeus7 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) VALE GOAL MA****ES! Edited October 12, 2018 by Molon Lave
Antaeus7 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 2-0 game over Greece will have to qualify via playoffs
Alphonse Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Such a promising start, such a poor ending. How did we gift the first goal?
Ellada2004 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 HT Greece 1 Belarus 0 HT San Marino 0 Croatia 0 Come on San Marino!
Brklyngrk Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 San Marino losing 0-4 now as was to be expected and Greece has been playing with 10 men since the 31st minute, red card to a defender. Still winning though 1-0.
Boxou Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Kotsaris, Kyriakopoulos, Mavropanos, Hatzidiakos, Tsimikas, Galanopoulos, Bouzoukis, Lamprou, Limnios, Chatzigiovannis, Koulouris. That's the lineup Nikopolidis should use for the Austria games.
Blackhawk Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 First game at Toumba Stadium on November 16 at 18:00 EET Return leg in Austria will be played on November 20 at 20:00 EET.
Antaeus7 Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 Critical first match for Greece in Thessaloniki. Need a big win.
